Selling our '00 BMW Z3. We purchased it 3 years ago from the 2nd owner in Atlanta GA. In February someone hit the rear quarter while I was pulling out of a parallel parking spot. We filed a claim this summer to repair the damage so we could sell it, and the claim totaled the car. We have been using it regularly with this damage since February. It drives great and there's no reason to let it go to a salvage yard, so I bought it back from the insurance company. The toe is out of spec because it needs a new trailing arm, and between the dent and the trailing arm, the insurance company totaled the car. I've attached its alignment specs below.
It had H&R springs with Bilstein shocks installed in early 2009. The excessive camber is due to this. The toe is off due to the trailing arm. It's a GA car so it has no rust. It has never been driven in the snow. It's currently located in Washington DC. The DSC light is on and isn't working. I don't know if it's a speed sensor, the aftermarket wheels, the unit, or what. It doesn't throw any code to a Peake tool, and the ABS works fine. I haven't taken it to a shop to have it diagnosed. No check engine light, no airbag light, etc. When we purchased it, it came with a lot of maintenance records, but several were lost in a recent move.
I do have some records, and luckily I have some of the important ones. The most important being that in January 2008 @ 116k miles, the engine and transmission were replaced. The engine overheated and a used engine with 75k miles on it was put in. A used transmission with 35k miles on it was also installed due to the original sometimes being difficult to get into gear. The clutch was replaced as well as the cooling system. The total for this work was $7,315.03 and included: Engine w/ 75k Miles Transmission with 35k Miles Clutch Water Pump Thermostat Belt Tensioner This was all done 6 years and 30k miles ago. Meaning the engine currently has 115k, the transmission 65k, and the clutch 30k. A new alternator was installed in 2009 and the valve cover gasket and plugs were done at 136k in 12/2010. All 4 tires were replaced at 128k miles in March 2009. Rogue RSMs were installed in 9/2008. The suspension and wheels were also done that same winter. The head gasket and spark plugs were done at 136k miles. These are all the items I have the records for. There are more items that have been done, like the exterior gaskets and a full respray by the original owner, but I do not have the records. I do have some showing the receipts for the new shift knob, brake handle, and various interior trim pieces. Most everything works as it should. The semi-automatic top works with no problems. The A/C blows cold and has every since we bought it. The heat works great. Both power windows and power mirrors work as they should. The ABS works, but the DSC does not. Cruise control works properly. The clutch engages correctly and only has 30k on it. The transmission shifts perfectly and smoothly with no grinds. The suspension is a little bouncy as it is pretty stiff. As far as ownership history goes, the original owner had it until the engine was replaced. It had been keyed and the entire car was repainted at the same time. The second owner, an employee at the Spartanburg, SC BMW plant, purchased it then (2008) and sold it to us in 2011 with 137,400 miles on it. All panels retained the original VIN stickers except for the trunk lid, because it had been hit at some point under the first owner's watch. In the last 3 years, we have put under 9000 miles on it. It has been a city car and all commuting has been done on the DC Metro. It has been used for the occasional city drive and mostly for weekend drives out of town. It received a new battery in 2012 and has not needed anything aside from that. It will be due for an oil change at 150k miles. I've tried to describe it pretty thoroughly, but please email me with any questions. The title is currently clear, but we have received the total loss paperwork from the insurance company and I believe the DMV will issue a salvage title when we or you take it to them. I am not sure, so I went ahead and listed the title as salvage, as I believe that is the title you will receive. I will call the DMV tomorrow and verify this, so for the time being bid knowing there may be a delay while the DMV processes the title. I have the existing title on-hand. Please only bid if you plan to buy, otherwise ask questions. Your deposit is non-refundable. Meaning if you change your mind, you will not be getting it back! Be sure before you bid! Thank you and happy bidding.

BMW may show off autonomous concept at 100th anniversary
Thu, Dec 31 2015BMW celebrates its 100th birthday in 2016, and the brand might mark the occasion by showing a concept with a nearly production-ready autonomous system, according to Autocar. Company sales and marketing boss Ian Robertson hinted that the automaker could be close to introducing the next-gen tech. "We've reached the 'feet off' phase of autonomy, and now we're in the 'hands off' and 'eyes off' phase, but only for brief periods," Robertson told Autocar. He thinks fully autonomous driving could be possible in 15 years because the company needs to work out how to make it safe. In addition to talking about autonomous tech, Robertson said the company's March 7th centenary would focus the future. "There will be some products we will share," he told Autocar. "Maybe what I've been alluding to will be the direction of that." BMW has tested autonomous technology for years and already impressively showed an M235i that could drift by itself. An i3 (pictured above) was even able to park without driver assistance in a multi-story garage at CES last year. Recent rumors about Google's piloted ridesharing service suggest this could be the perfect time for the German automaker to take the next step. BMW's bigger challenge could be determining how much autonomous ability to give drivers. Tesla might soon reduce features from its Autopilot system because a few owners aren't responsible enough to use the tech safely. California also proposed regulations that could limit the capabilities of driverless vehicles. Related Video:
BMW considering building 3 Series in North America
Sun, 13 Apr 2014There might be even more BMWs coming from North America soon. The company recently announced plans to build a flagship crossover called the X7 at its Spartanburg, SC, factory. Now, rumors are emerging that the Bavarians might be thinking about building a second North American factory that could build its quick-selling 3 Series.
According to Bloomberg, the German luxury giant is considering several possible locations for a North American factory, including two in Mexico, that may build the 3. "We will decide this in the next months. On the North American continent, there's still potential," said BMW production boss, Harald Krueger, in an interview meant for company staff obtained by Bloomberg.
If BMW decides to open a plant in Mexico, it would be following its rival Audi, which already announced construction of a factory there. Mercedes-Benz has been rumored to be working on a deal with Nissan to build its cars South of the Border as well. Rumors of Bimmer considering Mexican production have also cropped up in the past, so it wouldn't come as a total surprise to hear it made official.
BMW i8 could get 300-hp, 2.0L turbo-four
Thu, Jun 11 2015First and foremost, the long-rumored, high-performance BMW i8 will not be called the i8 M. While the lack of an M badge might be a disappointment, it's fair to say the performance of the new model likely won't be. AutoExpress claims BMW is developing a new 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder that will take the place of the i8's three-cylinder engine. Offering an even 300 horsepower, up from the current car's 228, total system power would sit around 450 ponies, thanks to the extra cylinder. The electric system won't be fettled with, though. If that still sounds modest, it's because it is – AE's source claims the i8 could handle another 300 hp. BMW would also make a concerted effort to at least maintain the current i8's weight, even with the extra heft of the 2.0-liter turbo to deal with. AutoExpress's source claims that BMW could skip the paint on certain exterior carbon-fiber elements while also offering a more focused, minimalist cabin to save even more weight. According to AE, this new model should arrive as early as 2016, which could result in a debut in Frankfurt this September, Los Angeles in November, or even Detroit, in January.
